OAKVILLE, Ont. \u2013 <\/strong>First Tee \u2013 Canada is proud to announce a new partnership with adidas that will support youth programming through the adidas<\/em> Birdies for Game Changers<\/em> initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partnering with five-time PGA TOUR winner and adidas athlete Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C., adidas will provide $300 in support to First Tee \u2013 Canada for every birdie or better that Taylor makes on the PGA TOUR this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis adidas Birdies for Game Changers<\/em> initiative provides a platform for Nick\u2019s great play on the golf course to directly benefit youth in Canada,\u201d said Adam Hunter, executive director, First Tee \u2013 Canada. \u201cWe are very appreciative to adidas and Nick for their continued support. This initiative will allow First Tee \u2013 Canada to introduce more children to golf in a way that is welcoming, inclusive and empowering.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The adidas Birdies for Game Changers<\/em> initiative supports First Tee \u2013 Canada in providing youth from all backgrounds with access to valuable life lessons through golf. First Tee \u2013 Canada\u2019s mission is to impact the lives of young people by providing educational programs that build character and promote healthy choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt adidas, we believe that through sport we have the power to change lives, so we\u2019re excited to support First Tee \u2013 Canada by helping expand access to programs that use golf as a platform for growth,\u201d said Jeff Lienhart, president, adidas Golf. \u201cKnowing we can play a small part alongside Nick\u2019s performance on the PGA TOUR this season to directly impact the next generation of golfers in Canada makes this initiative especially meaningful. We\u2019ll be cheering him on, knowing that every birdie helps create opportunities for young people across the country to build confidence, develop life skills and discover what\u2019s possible through the game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A First Tee \u2013 Canada ambassador, Taylor has been a champion of the program\u2019s mission and values. Since 2024, the Taylor family has been supporting their regional chapter, First Tee \u2013 British Columbia as a charitable beneficiary of the Nick Taylor Charity Classic. A portion of the funds raised at the tournament directly support the growth of the grassroots program in Cultus Lake and surrounding communities in the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGolf has given our family so much both on and off the course,\u201d said Nick Taylor. \u201cAndie and I are very proud of our partnership with First Tee \u2013 Canada and thrilled that adidas will continue to strengthen that relationship, guided by our shared values of promoting the game and the valuable life lessons it instills in youth across Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, Taylor recorded 309 birdies and six eagles in 24 events played on the PGA TOUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The adidas Birdies for Game Changers<\/em> initiative will begin this week as Taylor opens the 2026 PGA TOUR season with the defence of his Sony Open title in Honolulu, Hawaii on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

These activities make learning the sport exciting while empowering participants to achieve goals on the course and make good choices off it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really important for us to introduce youth to the First Tee program so that golf can be fun and accessible to everyone,\u201d Comeau said. \u201cFor our sport to be healthy, we need to take care of the next generation.

FitSpirit to introduce more young girls to sport \u2014 and to golf, for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between May 6 and May 27, First Tee coaches were on site at all five of FitSpirit\u2019s Celebration events, which brought together thousands of girls aged 12 to 17 from secondary schools across Qu\u00e9bec. The events \u2014 held at community parks in various regions \u2014 featured a mix of physical activities, social connection and leadership-building workshops in an inclusive, all-girls setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FitSpirit, a Qu\u00e9bec-based non-profit, focuses on promoting physical activity and wellness among teenage girls. Its Celebration events aim to help girls build confidence, try new things and experience the joy of movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to be collaborating with First Tee \u2013 Premier d\u00e9part Qu\u00e9bec to offer golf discovery at FitSpirit Celebrations,\u201d said \u00c9lisabeth Lagac\u00e9, program advisor at FitSpirit. \u201cA welcoming, non-judgemental introduction to golf shows teenage girls that they belong in this sport and that trying something new can be exciting, rather than intimidating.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each participant was given a card to collect hole punches by completing different activities. The First Tee stations \u2014 each led by one of four female coaches \u2014 offered a welcoming space where girls could learn golf fundamentals and develop life skills through sport. Activities included a chipping target practice and a distance control putting challenge, all rooted in First Tee\u2019s emphasis on confidence, respect and perseverance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Celebration events were held at Parc Maisonneuve (Montr\u00e9al), Parc de la Pointe-aux-Li\u00e8vres (Qu\u00e9bec City), Parc de la Terre-des-Loisirs (Trois-Rivi\u00e8res), Parc Beaus\u00e9jour (Rimouski), and Centre de plein air H\u00e9l\u00e8ne-Larochelle (Gatineau).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across the five events, nearly 3,350 girls participated \u2014 many experiencing golf for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOver 95 per cent of FitSpirit participants were discovering golf for the first time,\u201d said Marie-Mich\u00e8le Richer, program manager for First Tee \u2013 Premier d\u00e9part Qu\u00e9bec. \u201cIt was incredible to see them focus on their tee shots and celebrate hitting the target. The more they played, the more they connected \u2014 with the game and with each other. We\u2019re grateful to FitSpirit for welcoming us and making it possible to share golf with so many girls.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the conclusion of this year\u2019s FitSpirit Celebrations, participation at the First Tee \u2013 Premier d\u00e9part Qu\u00e9bec stations rose by 55 per cent compared to 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First Tee \u2013 Premier d\u00e9part Qu\u00e9bec aims to continue working with FitSpirit each season, using golf to empower more girls across the province to be active, confident and brave with anything that comes their way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more at <a href=\"https:\/\/firstteequebec.ca\/en\/register\/\">firstteequebec.ca\/en\/register<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/fitspirit.ca\/\">fitspirit.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the third year in a row, First Tee \u2013 Premier d\u00e9part Qu\u00e9bec has partnered with FitSpirit to introduce more young girls to sport \u2014 and to golf, for the first time.

They create safe, inclusive spaces where participants feel seen, heard, and ready to realize their full potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That commitment begins before stepping onto the course.

(August 6, 2024<\/strong>) \u2013 The Presidents Cup, Golf Canada and Golf Canada Foundation are proud to announce First Tee \u2013 Canada has been named as one of the 2024 charitable beneficiaries of the upcoming Presidents Cup and will receive a $250,000 donation from the event, returning to The Royal Montreal Golf Club Sept. 24-29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conjunction with being named a beneficiary of the Presidents Cup, philanthropists Paul Desmarais Jr., Jean C. Monty and R\u00e9mi Racine have each made $1 million USD gifts to support the continued growth of First Tee in Quebec and across Canada.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, at the Presidents Cup media day, two lucky First Tee \u2013 Qu\u00e9bec participants had the opportunity to caddie for Montreal Canadiens players Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. Suzuki and Caulfield put their golf skills to the test as they went head-to-head in a three-hole match play competition, followed by a cheque presentation to Golf Canada Foundation\u2019s Chief Executive Officer, Martin Barnard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGifts of this nature are pivotal for our program,\u201d said Barnard. \u201cThey allow us to implement more programming across all six Canadian chapters, introduce more children to golf and make a bigger impact in local communities. The pace of growth for First Tee in Canada has been incredible and that\u2019s owed to likeminded individuals who share the vision of championing youth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First Tee \u2013 Canada is Golf Canada\u2019s youth development program that provides accessible and inclusive life-enhancing experiences through golf for children who may have otherwise not had the opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The launch of First Tee in Canada was announced in 2020 by PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan at a global press conference which revealed the 2024 Presidents Cup would be returning to Montreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt feels like a full circle moment as we celebrate the new announcements today in collaboration with the Presidents Cup and reflect on the growth of First Tee in Canada over the last few years,\u201d said Laurence Applebaum, Chief Executive Officer, Golf Canada. \u201cWe are now proudly operational in every province and earlier this year, surpassed 100,000 participants. First Tee \u2013 Canada\u2019s success would not be possible without a generous network of supporters like Paul Desmarais, Jr., Jean C. Monty, R\u00e9mi Racine and the PGA TOUR.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program is delivered at golf courses, schools and community centres and provides accessible pathways of participation for children from all backgrounds. First Tee \u2013 Canada combats typical barriers of entry including affordability, transportation and perception or unfamiliarity to the sport. First Tee \u2013 Canada proudly offers over 70 per cent of programming at no cost to participants and over 50 per cent of participants identify as equity-deserving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with a life skills curriculum, First Tee creates active learning experiences that continue to foster life skills like inner strength, self-confidence, resilience, honesty, and respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe impact First Tee has on the future of our sport is crucial,\u201d said Ryan Hart, Executive Director, Presidents Cup. \u201cThe Presidents Cup is a proud supporter of First Tee and is pleased to showcase First Tee \u2013 Canada on our international stage. First Tee \u2013 Canada\u2019s focus on making golf courses accessible, inclusive and empowering spaces for children and families is so important. As the Presidents Cup moves on to new stages in 2026 and beyond, we are grateful to have played a role in the greater development of the First Tee \u2013 Canada through this year\u2019s event in Montreal and will be proud to see this chapter continue to flourish for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Presidents Cup will be taking place September 24-29 at The Royal Montreal Golf Club. Following the event, on Monday, September 30<sup>th<\/sup>, Laval-sur-le-Lac will play host to the third annual First Tee \u2013 Qu\u00e9bec Cup, an exclusive fundraising event to help meet the growing demand for programming across the province. More information about the fundraising event can be found at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstteequebeccupcaen.com\/\">First Tee \u2013 Qu\u00e9bec Cup website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Golf Canada and Golf Canada Foundation are continuously pursuing gifts to deliver programming to more children across Canada. To date, First Tee \u2013 Canada has received nearly $16 million in donations to support the launch and growth of six chapters and the onboarding of over 80 golf facilities, 80 community centres, and 200 schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are excited the Presidents Cup is coming back to Canada at Royal Montreal Golf Club,\u201d said Paul Desmarais Jr. \u201cAs a proud supporter of the event and First Tee I am thrilled that the tournament is giving back to benefit youth in Quebec and across Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn how to support First Tee \u2013 Canada, please email <a href=\"mailto:ahunter@golfcanada.ca\">Adam Hunter<\/a>.

Coaches are dedicated to creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere where every participant feels valued and supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of First Tee \u2013 Qu\u00e9bec’s <a href=\"https:\/\/firstteequebec.ca\/en\/programs\/safesport\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">commitment to safety<\/a>, all First Tee \u2013 Qu\u00e9bec coaches and volunteers receive background checks and must complete <a href=\"https:\/\/coach.ca\/sport-safety\/safe-sport-training\">Safe Sport and Respect in Sport training<\/a>. In addition, First Tee \u2013 Qu\u00e9bec coaches are trained and certified by the joint efforts of First Tee and the PGA of Canada.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Golf equipment and attire are not necessary<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Come as you are! We provide appropriate junior golf equipment and encourage kids to wear whatever they feel most confident in. We recommend wearing comfortable closed-toe shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our coaches modify the equipment and activities based on age level and skill. Some participants or sessions start with plastic clubs and tennis balls to ensure a safe environment, then work their way up to feeling comfortable with golf irons and balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Intro to basic golf skills<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants will learn the fundamental skills of golf in a fun and interactive setting. From gripping the club to mastering the swing, our coaches are there every step of the way to provide guidance and encouragement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The First Tee program incorporates many other sports and games into sessions. For example, using unique versions of bowling or tic-tac-toe to teach chipping, putting speed, and distance control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Life skills integration<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>First Tee \u2013 Qu\u00e9bec is more than a golf program. We aim to provide kids with tools for success both on and off the course. By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with a life skills curriculum, we create active learning experiences that continue to foster life skills like inner strength, self-confidence, resilience, honesty, and respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve this, we incorporate a life lesson or skill into every session. For instance, if the life skill or theme of the month is honesty, the coach will discuss the importance of honest scoring and have teams keep track of their score during a game or competition. Participants will discuss amongst the group why honesty is so important in the game of golf and at school and home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Empowering environment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Coaches and volunteers are there to offer guidance, support, and plenty of high fives. Here at First Tee \u2013 Qu\u00e9bec, we celebrate every milestone no matter how small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though you\u2019ll find participants of all varying levels at First Tee, many kids can feel nervous during their first session. We like to remind them that every golfer was once a beginner! We all start somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s next? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you stay connected after your child loved their experience with First Tee \u2013 Qu\u00e9bec?
